Biography: Konoha’s technique specialist, he has copied over 1000 techniques. He is the leader of Team 7 and a Jounin. He is known as the Copy Ninja, but has developed his own original technique, called Chidori because it sounds like a thousand birds chirping as it’s being used. It is also called the Lightning Edge because he once cut through a bolt of lightning with it. He is very cunning, cool, and, as Gai says, “hip.” He’s a bit of a show-off, but only as reassurance to his friends that he has the situation under control, and even then not very often. He has a good sense of humor that catches one by surprise most of the time. Punctuality is not very important to him, but teamwork is. He believes the worst thing a ninja can do is to fail to look out for his fellow ninja. His obsession in reading a certain book is legendary in the Naruto world and is in actuality his greatest weakness.

Acquaintances: Konoha

Biography: The uncle of Neji and father of Hinata, he is the leader of the Main family of the Hyuuga clan. His twin brother harbored bitterness toward the Main family, as his giften son, Neji, was forced into the Branch family because Hiashi was born a few seconds earlier. Hiashi's brother sacrificed himself when Hiashi's life was demanded as payment when he killed a foreign ninja who attempted to abduct Hinata. Hiashi is a very superior ninja, befitting his royal position. He acknowledges Neji's genius, despite his status as a member of the Branch family.

Origin: Konoha Village

Abilities: Jyuuken, Byakugan

Acquaintances: Everyone in Konoha

Biography: The successor to the Hyuuga clan, Hinata is very shy and has low confidence. She has a very large crush on Naruto, which she says is because she can see beyond his public image and know what he’s really like. She has great respect for his determination and confidence, which probably fuels her own growth in those areas. She has not inherited very strongly the abilities of the Hyuuga clan, per se. However, she is developing her own use of the Jyuuken. She seems to have a very secret beauty.

Origin: Konoha Village

Abilities: Jyuuken, Byakugan, Kaiten

Acquaintances: Everyone in Konoha

For instance, the Hakeshou Kaiten is only taught to the Head Family, yet Neji learned it, the Hakke Rokujuu, and Hakke Hyaku Nijuu Hachi himself. He is very much a genius. He can see the Tenketsu on a person’s body, which are the points through which chakra flows. He can strike those points and manipulate that flow, potentially stopping their chakra flow altogether. He once hated the Head Family for obvious reasons, but also because of a past shady incident involving his father. He relates himself to a caged bird. This metaphor gets very developed over time.

Acquaintances: Everyone in Konoha

Biography: Jiraiya, or the Frog Hermit, is one of the legendary Sennin. He is basically a perverted old man with extremely powerful ninja techniques. He specializes in infiltration and information gathering, although one might suppose this is because he uses that as a guise for his frivolry with drinking and women. Jiraiya has taken an interest in Naruto after learning that Akatsuki wants to take control over him. This is probably for the better, as Jiraiya's personality as well as combat style matches Naruto's better than Kakashi's does.

Acquaintances: Everyone in Konoha

Biography: A ninja who is unable to use ninjutsu or genjutsu. He was considered a failure for most of his schooling, but was somehow able to graduate. He met Gai-sensei and adopted his work ethic, among with a few other questionable characteristics, including his bobbed haircut, sparkling smile, and green jumpsuit. His hard work is unmatched by any ninja, save perhaps Gai-sensei. He has been called a genius of hard work and his goal is to beat the genius, Neji. His strength and speed are incredible and he usually wears ridiculously heavy weights on his legs to make him faster. When he removes them, his speed is nearly unmatched. He may only be able to use Taijutsu, but he is fast becoming a master. When he ingests even a little bit of alcohol, he gets blackout drunk and becomes a drunken master style fighter. He becomes even more powerful when this happens, but the real advantage lies in the unpredictability of his movements. When he is unconscious, he can still fight strictly from muscle memory (it takes 3000 repetitions of an action to commit it to muscle memory). Rock Lee is an extremely dependable ally, no matter the situation.

The members of Team 10 are not all that spectacular, although Asuma did breach Shikamaru's laziness to discover his extremely high intelligence. Asuma is also an encouragement to Chouji, although he doesn't really understand the Akimichi clans use of food and body weight for combat. He has little to do with Ino's growth, as their abilities contrast so greatly.

The Fourth invented several such techniques, including the Rasengan, which Jiraiya learned, who taught it to Naruto. Naruto bears a strong resemblance to The Fourth, with his blond hair and blue eyes, however no connection has been established aside from sealing the Kyuubi inside him. However, this raises the question of why Naruto was chosen and where and who he came from. many speculate that The fourth Hokage is actually Naruto's Father. But yet again there still is no proven connection.

Tsunade, The Fifth Hokage

Rank: Hokage

Birthday: August 2

Age: 51

Origin: Konoha

Abilities: Medical Techniques, Creation Rebirth

Acquaintances: Everyone in Konoha

Biography: In Sarutobi's team as a Genin with Jiraiya and Orochimaru, Tsunade has an extremely good ability to control chakra. She can even store chakra in the shape of a diamond on her forehead, which she uses for her Creation Rebirth Technique, which speeds up the regeneration process of the cells in her body, enabling her to completely heal her wounds in an instant. However, this shortens her lifespan in the long run. She can also use her chakra control to give her monstrous strength. She can summon slugs, which would seem pretty useless, but their abilities complement Tsunade's by absorbing damage and providing aid to other ninja. She mentored Sakura in the art of a medical ninja, but she went a little farther and taught Sakura a little more then medicinal techniques.

He is a member of Akatsuki, along with several other exiled ninja. He has mastered the use of his Uchiha body and can form seals faster than the human eye can detect, let alone avoid or counter.

Uchiha Sasuke

Rank: Genin

Birthday: July 23

Age: 13

Origin: Konoha Village

Abilities: Fire Ninjutsus, Chidori, Sharingan

Acquaintances: Everyone in Konoha

Biography: The most talented rookie of his year at the ninja academy, he is the sole survivor of the Uchiha clan, which was mostly murdered in cold blood by Sasuke’s older brother, Itachi. Itachi left Sasuke alive in hopes that he would become strong and face him one day and that Sasuke would develop the Mangekyou Sharingan. Sasuke does develop Sharingan, which he can use to see through techniques and can usually use his Uchiha body to counter them. He is an excellent Taijutsu user and can perform some advanced ninjutsu as well. He seems cool and collected, but he can be easily agitated if his attainment of power is at all threatened. Naruto is his rival, but also his closest friend, admittedly. This rivalry produces a potentially dangerous determination in each other, although it drives them to grow like nothing else. Sasuke’s only goal in life is to kill Itachi and he will go to all but one length to achieve the power to do so.

Biography: A child in the Hidden Ninja Village of Konoha. What happened to his parents is unknown, but it is a fact that he was alone since an infant. He bears a physical resemblance to the Fourth Hokage with his blonde hair and blue eyes, but there is no evidence that links them other than that the Fourth sealed the Kyuubi (nine-tails demon fox) inside the infant to protect Konoha from its wrath. Naruto can call upon this creature’s chakra and use it for his own techniques. The people of Konoha regarded him as the Kyuubi itself for most of his life, confused about the seal placed on him. This faded as Naruto grew as a ninja and defended Konoha with his life. His dream is to one day receive the title of Hokage as the greatest ninja in Konoha. He is very clumsy and very noisy, but very good at surprising people, which is often his greatest weapon. Although lacking in some of the basics of being a ninja, his determination is unmatched and with the Kyuubi’s chakra and he produces results in the most hopeless situations. He lives his life according to his own way of the ninja. He is probably the most impulsive ninja, but these impulses serve him well often enough and are the very reason he and several other ninja have survived the missions they have been involved in.
